Queensferry Crossing: diversion revealed ahead of overnight closures
Traffic is set to be diverted as overnight closures begin for roadworks on the Queensferry Crossing.
The southbound carriageway will be closed from 10:00pm on Friday, April 24 and Sunday 26th to allow the work to take place, with all traffic being shifted on to the Forth Road Bridge - and on Saturday 25th there will be a full crossing closure to practice deployment of the automated diversion system.
BEAR Scotland needs to close the road south to replace the overhead gantry signage at the central and south tower. Other work planned includes refreshing of white lines on the main carriageway and replacement of missing road studs, inspections of bridge elements including the wind louvres, parapets, carriageway surfacing and overhead gantries, removal of old architectural lighting from central tower, and maintenance of the low-level bollard lighting
